creative swaps: we have moved!

we have moved!

Yes, we have moved to beautiful Palma Sola, Bradenton, Florida. While I am not ready to announce an art swap yet, I would love to start thinking about it . . . so I have created a poll with some swap ideas in the left-hand column of this blog. Please go there and vote! I will leave the poll up until the end of the year so you'll have about 3 weeks to let me know your preferences. You can also email me and give me any other ideas for art swaps you participated in that you enjoyed. Thanks!! lenna young andrews - December 8th, 2009.
